Cheetah security: intercepting urls need wildcard

Keith Pierce — 2008-10-06T16:13:58

In Cheetah we use Spring's security framework to restrict access to web pages. You do that by adding entries to securityContext.xml like this: ...

...

This specifies that access the two pages described by the URL patterns is restricted to users assigned role "ROLE_ADMIN". Unfortunately this does not work when the URL is submitted with parameters attached, such as "/updateLoanProduct.ftl?id=1" -- The security framework does not recognize this URL as being restricted because it is not an exact match. To fix this, add a wildcard character "*" whenever a restricted URL pattern might include parameters: Keith Pierce --------------------

changes to Cheetah build system - building fromthe project root

Adam Feuer — 2008-10-01T17:45:42

Folks, You can now build the entire project and run all unit, integration, and acceptance tests by doing this command from the root of the project: mvn clean install You can still build the modules (testFramework, application, testing) separately by issuing this command in the subdirectories. -adam

Cheetah integration tests now run in theintegration-test phase

Adam Feuer — 2008-09-30T22:55:25

Folks, The Cheetah integration tests now run as part of application's integration-test phase; these will run automatically if you do 'mvn clean install'. For your information on how this is done, here's the section from the application/pom.xml: org.apache.maven.plugins maven-surefire-plugin 2.4.2 unit integration, workInProgress integration-test test integration unit, workInProgress

DatabaseTestUtils can now clear any table

Adam Feuer — 2008-09-30T21:54:11

Folks, You can now use DatabaseTestUtils.deleteDataFromTable() to remove all the data from a table. This lives in the testFramework/ module now. -adam

Hudson is back to normal

Adam Feuer — 2008-10-03T22:39:37

Everyone, Mifos Hudson is back to normal, with a new startup script that will restart Hudson when the box restarts. I think the problem with it was caused by some networking adjustments that Adam Monsen and I made this afternoon, solved by rebooting. -adam

maven 2.0.9 or greater is now required

Adam Feuer — 2008-10-01T17:56:37

Folks, Maven 2.0.9 or greater is now required, due to this bug: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2923 Although this is reported fixed in 2.0.7, 2.0.8 also has it, while 2.0.9 does not. You can do 'mvn --version' to find out what version you are running. If you don't have 2.0.9, you can download it here: http://maven.apache.org/download.html cheers adam

Need to suppress PMD rule DataFlowAnomalyAnalysisin certain circumstances

Keith Pierce — 2008-10-01T15:43:37

PMD raises this violation when a recently defined variable is redefined. In particular, it objected to this code where I redefine jdbcConnection in the try-catch block: Connection jdbcConnection = null; try { jdbcConnection = DataSourceUtils.getConnection(dataSource); IDatabaseConnection databaseConnection = new DatabaseConnection(jdbcConnection); DatabaseOperation.CLEAN_INSERT.execute(databaseConnection, dataSet); } finally { jdbcConnection.close(); DataSourceUtils.releaseConnection(jdbcConnection, dataSource); } However, one is forced into this construct because the "finally" block needs access to the variable, so it must be declared outside the try-catch block, but initialized in the "try" so that the connection can be cleaned up if IO or database exceptions are thrown. So, I suppressed the violation from method org.mifos.test.framework.util.DatabaseTestUtils.cleanAndInsertDataSet(). PMD categorizes this rule

changes to Cheetah build system

Adam Feuer — 2008-09-30T21:50:18

Folks, I created a testFramework/ project to hold code that will be used by application/ and testing/. You will need to build that before you can build the other two projects. To do so: * cd to testFramework/ * mvn clean install cheers adam

Cheetah acceptance tests: slowing down Seleniumso you can see it run

Adam Feuer — 2008-09-26T20:54:39

Folks, This only works in Eclipse. If you want to slow the acceptance tests down so you can see them run, here's how: 1. Open the Run Configuration entry for your TestNG test. (Run > Run Configurations, select the test you want to slow down.) 2. Select the Arguments tab. 3 Paste the following in the VM Arguments box: -Dmifos.selenium.delay="500" 4. Click Apply, then Run. This will take effect until you remove this argument. The number is in milliseconds. This will add a 500ms delay to every action taken by Selenium by the acceptance test. You can change the "500" to any integer number of milliseconds you want. How it works: Spring now instantiates the DefaultSelenium bean called "selenium" that is used by the tests. SeleniumSpeedControl is an aspect that is applied to the selenium bean that has a delay after every public method invocation. To activate it, you set a Java System Property called mifos.selenium.delay. This is on the wiki here: http://www.mifos.org/developers/wiki/CheetahAcceptanceT

mvn integration-test now also doesprocess-resources sql:execute

Adam Feuer — 2008-09-25T19:44:56

Folks, Running acceptance tests via 'mvn integration-test' now runs process-resources and sql:execute - this means running this target will drop the database and recreate it. -adam

Cheetah: mysqld must be set to use InnoDb asdefault storage engine, utf8 as default charset

Adam Feuer — 2008-09-25T19:17:45

Folks, For now, your mysqld must be set to use InnoDb as default storage engine, utf8 as default charset. We hope to eventually change this requirement, but for now it is required for Cheetah development. See this page for info: http://www.mifos.org/developers/wiki/CheetahConfigureMySql That page is linked from the developer set up page: http://www.mifos.org/developers/wiki/CheetahDeveloperSetup cheers adam
